3d_PX™ - 3 Dimensional Projection

Familiar with the basics of a laser? Consider what happens when the frequency output of one laser meets a blocking frequency of another laser. Depth of a laser [projection] can be calculated and controlled based upon the output wavelength of the laser and the density of the material being penetrated [e.g. air, acrylic, etc.]. Think about UV blocking sunglasses, or medical lasers used for eye surgery. Same principal. So what does the physical projection look like at the points where the two lasers meet? A point in space. And what about if you used three lasers? Perhaps with different wavelength properties (color).

Next problem is control. The tradition method of controlling laser direction by using spinning mirrors attached to a stepper motor (or motors) is still to limiting. But refraction of a laser beam through a glass medium is instantaneous [ depending on the glass medium or prism and the wavelength of the laser]. Perhaps a prism of crystal. Think of the quartz in your watch vibrating synchronously enough to set your watch by [literally]. The vibration of a crystal can be controlled by a charge, and a charge can be controlled by a microprocessor, which in turn can manipulate the deterministic refraction characteristics of the prism.

Put it all together with a 3 dimensionally modeled source calculating pixel projections and refraction vibrations at 60 frames a second, and a 3 dimensional projection is possible. But that's only step 1. Think about what an electro magnetically controlled sphere would do if brought next to the properties of another similar sphere. With electro magnetic control of the sphere equal to the surface density of multiple spheres packed into a cylinder (where the spheres meet each other), the magnetic attraction can take shape. The designs are even more overwhelming than this overview.
